Northwestern’s move-the-chains TE with slot-like versatility
John Raine’s Northwestern profile is that of a pass-catcher first, a tight end who can flex into the slot, line up in the backfield, and create matchup problems with alignment versatility rather than raw volume; in the 2020 season, he logged 24 catches for 233 yards and 2 touchdowns, earning All-Big Ten honorable mention. He’s a fit for teams that value feel, route savvy, and multiplicity over in-line mauling, though his NFL journey as an undrafted free agent suggests he’s been more of a depth/role player than a headline producer.
